In 963, shortly after the Bagratuni seat was transferred to Ani, Kars became the capital of a separate independent kingdom, again called Vanand. However, the ex...tent of its actual independence from the Kingdom of Ani is uncertain: it was always in the possession of the relatives of the rulers of Ani, and, after Ani's capture by the Byzantine Empire in 1045, the Bagratuni title "King of Kings" held by the ruler of Ani was transferred to the ruler of Kars. In 1064, just after the capture of Ani by Alp Arslan (leader of the Seljuk Turks), the Armenian king of Kars, Gagik-Abas, paid homage to the victorious Turks so that they would not lay siege to his city. In 1065 Gagik-Abas ceded his kingdom to the Byzantine Empire, but soon after Kars was taken by the Seljuk Turks. Only in 1206 Zakare of the Zakarids-Mkhargrzeli succeeded in capturing Kars, joining it to their fiefdom of Ani. It was conquered in 1242 by the Mongols; was regained by Georgian Kingdom during the reign of George V the Brilliant (13141346), it remained part of the Kingdom before its disintegration, which then passed into the hands of Georgian Atabegs belonging to the House of Jaqeli. In 1387 the city surrendered to Timur (Tamerlane) and its fortifications were damaged. Anatolian beyliks followed for some time after that, until it firstly fell into the hands of the Kara Koyunlu and subsequent Ak Koyunlu. After the Ak Koyunlu, as it went naturally for almost all their former territories, the city fell into the hands of the newly established Safavid dynasty of Iran, founded by king Ismail I. Following the Peace of Amasya of 1555 that followed through the Ottoman-Safavid War of 1533-1555, the city was declared neutral, and its existing fortress was destroyed. In 1585, during the Ottoman-Safavid War of 1579-1590, the Ottomans took the city alongside Tabriz. The city's significance increased as the Ottoman and Russian empires contested its possession. The fortress was stormed by the Russians in the Battle of Kars during the Russo-Turkish War, 1877-78 under generals Loris-Melikov and Ivan Lazarev. Following the war, Kars was transferred to Russia by the Treaty of San Stefano. Kars became the capital of the Kars Oblast (province), comprising the districts of Kars, Ardahan, Kaghisman, and Oltu,which was the most southwesterly extension of the Russian Transcaucasus. In the following years the Russians supported the fortification of Kars. From 1878 to 1881 more than 82,000 Muslims from formerly Ottoman-controlled territory migrated to the Ottoman Empire. Among those there were more than 11,000 people from the city of Kars. At the same time, many Armenians and Pontic Greeks (here usually called Caucasus Greeks) migrated to the region from the Ottoman Empire and other regions of Transcaucasia. According to the Russian census data, by 1897 Armenians formed 49.7%, Russians 26.3%, Caucasus Greeks 11.7%, Poles 5.3% and Turks 3.8%. The terms of the Treaty of Alexandropol, signed by the representatives of Armenia and Turkey on 2 December 1920, forced Armenia to give back all the Ottoman territories granted to it in the Treaty of Sèvres. After the Bolshevik advance into Armenia, the Treaty of Alexandropol was superseded by the Treaty of Kars (October 23, 1921), signed between Turkey and the Soviet Union. The treaty allowed for Soviet annexation of Adjaria in exchange for Turkish control of the regions of Kars, Igdir, and Ardahan. The Treaty of Kars established peaceful relations between the two nations, but as early as 1939, some British diplomats noted indications that the Soviet Union was not satisfied with the established border.The Treaty of Kars, signed in 1921 by the Government of the Grand National Assembly and by the Soviet republics of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, established the current north-eastern boundaries of Turkey. The treaty included de jure provisions guaranteeing the Armenian residents right to relinquish Turkish nationality, leave the territory freely and take with them either their goods or the proceeds of their sale, but by some accounts formerly Armenian lands had de facto become state property as a consequence of the treaty. Pro-Russian and pro-Armenian parties often bring up the fact that the Treaty of Kars has a date of expiration which ends on the 100th anniversary of its signing. However, it is unclear why 2021 is named as the date of the abolition of the treaty because there is no passage in the treaty itself about dates. Of note is that it is difficult to annul it unilaterally because Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan have the status of a single party and the agreement of all three countries will be required to annul the treaty. Of further note is that Armenia does not recognise the Treaty of Kars in regard to the part on boundaries. In 1992, Armenia refused to ratify the Treaty of Kars. However, the Treaty of Kars is of crucial importance for Azerbaijan because of Nakhichevan. In addition, there is no such passage which authorises Turkey to annex Ajaria. On the contrary, with the Treaty of Kars, Turkey recognised Georgia’s sovereignty of Ajaria which means that Turkey recognised Georgia’s full jurisdiction over Batumi and the Batumi district. The Constitution of Georgia (Section 3 of Article 3) determines the legal status of the Autonomous Republic of Ajaria. So we shall see.

INTERVIEW WITH JOEY MYERS

https://www.dropbox.com/s/k69sz/Interview%202020-05-22.mp4 Title: Workers' Compensation: What's It All About? This interview was conducted by Joey Myers, a local Fresno businessman, who had some questions regarding the origins and the know how of the workers' compensation system. Joey is a good friend of mine and the owner of a baseball performance lab. For more detail please follow his links at ... https://hittingperformancelab.com/ https://www.thestartinglineupstore.com/pages/about-us

Origins and Essence of Worker's Compensation System Workers Compensation analogue was created in Germany in the 19th century during the industrial revolution, when employers were looking for means to run their businesses without paying too many damages to the workers in cases of injuries. Imagine a multi-million dollar lawsuit against your boss with a favorable verdict in a civil law suit multiplied by 5 or 10 suits of your coworkers every year. No business would hold under s...uch pressure. So the whole point was to create a system where the workers would be only reasonably compensated, and the employer would be able to feasibly run the industry in which it operates. No juries, no loud verdicts. Newly injured workers are usually asking if they are going to get such traditional civil damages like loss of earnings or pain and suffering or even loss of joy of life in work comp. The answer is NO. All these civil damages were scaled down to statutorily identified benefits which are their replacements in work comp. Their measure and span is much smaller and strictly regulated by law. Instead of loss of earnings which might be past and future damages you have the temporary disability benefit, which is allowed to be received at best for two years, and no more. Instead of actual damages and pain and suffering you have the permanent disability benefit which is strictly per schedule and measured by percentage. Loss of joy of life or consortium for spouses is not measured at all. At best you may bring a stress claim for which only limited treatment is available. Loss of Career prospects or professional losses are not accounted for. Only limited job training is available. Going back to the German vision, the employer is protected from multi-dollar lawsuits. He or she is just paying annual premiums to the insurance company, which then adjusts and processes the workers' claims. And insurances are adjusting all costs per some accepted schedules, be it a medical or disability cost. So let's say if you lost a limb or were reduced to a sedentary life style due to your injury, in a civil lawsuit the sky is a limit as far a jury verdict is concerned, may be $10,000,000.00 or may be more. In work comp that may not surpass the $500,000.00 mark. And then only some of it will land in your pocket, the rest will be allocated for your medical needs and training. In complicated cases it is better to have a work comp attorney right away. Civil or personal injury attorneys are not equipped to help sometimes, because law schools do not teach workers compensation. Therefore, hands on experience in the field and further education of an attorney helps. I have an experience in the field and have practiced work comp for over 27 years. So please do not hesitate to ask for my help at the Law office of Farley and Ketendjian.

My name is Ka'ren Ketendjian. I represent injured workers in San Joaquin Valley for over 25 years. Together with my clients I have won many cases and settled as many and more. Today I will talk about the BIG FOUR in workers compensation: 1.TEMPORARY DISABILITY, 2. PERMANENT DISABILITY, 3. MEDICAL TREATMENT AND ... 4. JOB TRAINING. When you get injured and the claim is accepted, you either work light duty or receive TEMPORARY DISABILITY benefits in lieu of the loss of wages, which is usually two thirds of your salary with some exceptions. After you doctor discharged you from care, the doctor will determine your disability or impairment levels. Those are measured in percentages and give a rise to PERMANENT DISABILITY BENEFITS. Permanent is a term of art, it does not mean for life. It means you have permanent limitations, restrictions or impairment from your injury while performing your job functions. This is your real disability level from 0 to 100. MEDICAL TREATMENT IS THE ESSENTIAL BENEFIT. It will start with your claim and continue as long as your claim is active. You may settle this benefit in a lump sum or choose to have it for life. You may change your doctors on reasonable basis as provided by law. You have a right to contest the doctor's opinion by resorting to expert medical-legal opinions of other qualified doctors. When your levels of disability are determined it is the time to start VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION, your job training. Job specialists are available to guide you in your job search, schooling and transfer of skills. The state mandates that a certain sum should be allocated for this purpose to cover your tuition, tool and other training expenses. We, as your attorneys, are here to guide you through the BIG FOUR at every step of the way. We deal with your employer's insurance company and their attorneys and see to it that every single BIG out of the FOUR is provided to you at the right value and measure.
